the following question is based on your reading of the biography of flannery o’connor. o'connor once stated: "i have found that anything that comes out of south is going to be called grotesque by the northern reader, unless it is grotesque, in which case it is going to be called realistic. whenever i'm asked why southern writers particularly have a penchant for writing about freaks, i say it is because we are still able to recognize one." infer what o'connor means by this statement.

it's like watching a fable, it's not really about the animals but rather it has a meaning that is understood by us and that is implicit, not explicitly said. implicit ideas are common and are used in almost all works of art, from writing to painting to sculpting.

the answer:

in the first part of the story running is all that matters to squeaky. running gives her confidence and defines who she is. at the beginning of the story she says that other kids call her mercury because she runs very fast. in the text she refers to herself as "miss quicksilver".

the line that provides the best evidence that squeaky has self-confidence is

" and i continue with my breathing exercise, strolling down broadway toward the ice cream man on 145th with not a care in the world cause i am miss quicksilver herself".

idk i just need the points
